I love 'The Thin Red Line' and apparently there is about 90 minutes of edited footage cut from the film to get it to a release-able length. Would love to see more of it. Big name actors were completely cut from the film and some reduced to one line cameos.

Terence Malick and the producers fell out so badly that I doubt this will ever see the light of day but I can but hope!

I am not so bothered about the "good" and "great films" as these are fine the way they are, but I would like to see the failures and bombs get the deleted footage back, mainly Ultraviolet and Babylon A.D. As you can see there is good concepts going on and a good story trying to get out, it just got lost along the way due to meddling......

stanton heck wrote: There is also the opening of "Carrie" that was deleted! It had a young "carrie" staring at a woman sunbathing and then stones coming down from the sky! I would like to see this on DVDWell, you can always watch Rose Red, in which King wrote in a scene like that. The little girl that is one of the main characters in that film is basically Carrie reincarnated. Big stones are falling from the sky destroying the whole neighbourhood in that scene. As it's using a Stephen King penned script it's most definitely linked to said scene in the novel Carrie. Also; I believe that scene was never shot for the movie Carrie.

The Star Wars stuff is readily available now. Just Google Deleted Magic, Building Empire and Returning to Jedi. I'm trying to download the last one now, but it's over 4 gig in size so it's going to take a while at 90KBs...

Wasnt there more in Return of the king if I'm not mistaken I'm talkin bout more than what the extended cut had cause I rember jackson cleary sayin that there were atleast 10+ endings in what he filmed I would love to also see the true cut of avp the one that was supose to be are rated before fox decided they wanted it pg 13 and the true cut of Ultraviolet

Yes "H2" was less graphic then John Carpenter added insert shots. He also added the murder of the first murder of "halloween 2" "halloween 6" had lots of footage edited out and had lots of scenes re-shot.

I hope all the old unfinished black and white footage from Star Wars (IV) surfaces on DVD in the future. Just to see it. I wouldn't want any of it cut into the film, as it's been arsed around with enough already.

Stanton mentions in his post that there is rumored missing footage from Gone With the Wind. This is true. When I was in college I did an internship at the Actors Theatre of Louisville. The founder was Jon Jory and his father was Victor Jory. Jory was in several shows while I was there and I used to ask him questions about Hollywood in the 30's and 40's. He told me that there was a lot of footage that was cut from Gone With the Wind including several scenes he had been in. One of the scenes that he mentioned took place in a barn where he, as the plantation overseer, beat a slave with a whip. He went on to say that if the film had been cut to follow the script that it would probably have run 4 hours. The footage I'd most like to see is the Frankenstein Monster trying to pull the nails out of the palms of a statue of Christ's hands in a cemetery in Bride of Frankenstein, and the wrestling match Larry Talbot has with a bear in The Wolf Man. Of course, the holy grail of missing footage would be a complete print of Orson Welle's The Magnificent Ambersons which was nearly cut in half by Robert Wise, under RKO studio orders, while Welles was shooting a film in South America. Supposedly none of that footage was kept.

The Punisher (1989) The ending is slightly different. Franco dies from a knife wound instead of a gun shot and the bit where Tommy Franco is going to kill The Punisher is much more intense with The Punisher first pointing the gun at Tommy before handing it to him and shouting at him to "Blow my brains out!"

Saving Private Ryan There is one scene which goes for about 20 mins I think that was cut. It features the whole squad talking in the beack of a jeep when they are being driven over the french country side. I think this scene must of had no reall purpose so it was cut.

I heard there is a few missing/deleted footage of "Gone With the WInd" and "Wizard of Oz" that no longer excist-however I would love to see stills of the missing footage. I would also like to see the missing footage of "American Beauty" that had Lester flying.
